WSWA remains steadfast in its commitment to fighting drunk driving. Ignition interlocks are an important new technology that will help combat drunk driving.
WSWA supports legislation that requires an ignition interlock on any vehicle of any person convicted of a repeat DUI offense or any first time offender whose blood alcohol content (BAC) was over .15. Interlocks need to be part of a comprehensive anti-DUI strategy. There is no silver bullet to solving the problem of drunk driving. This policy ensures that interlocks are mandated for those who pose the greatest threat to public safety.
Additionally, as advocates for responsible and safe driving, WSWA works to increase funding for Drug Recognition Expert training for law enforcement officers and ARIDE programs to deal with increased cases of drug impaired driving.
